Dear Abby, I am a 60-year-old woman who is married to a man who acts like
he hates me. In public, he pretends he loves me and talks about how
wonderful I am. But in private, he shakes his finger in my face and calls
me the 'B' word. He constantly tells me how ugly I am without make-up.
I've tried everything, including a face-lift, botox treatments, and a chin
tuck. I even went on a diet and lost 20 pounds. He quit his job a few
years ago after having an affair with a woman in his office. He hasn't
even looked for another job. We haven't slept together since I confronted
him about the affair. He denied it,of course, but everybody knew it. It
was humiliating. I believe he is still messing around. While we both want
to sell this house, we argue const antly about when to put it on the
market. The house we want will be available in a few months. My husband
wants to put our house on the market now. I think we should wait a while.
He has already started collecting boxes and packing up his stuff. Do you
think he is planning to leave me?
Signed, Worried in NY

Dear Worried in NY:
I doubt it. He wants to move back into the White House as much as you do.
